CASE & BRACELET
The stunning long lug, stainless steel case measures in at 34 millimeters. It features a large crown and round sides, with a screw-down case back. The watch is worn on a beautiful 2pc leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The case is beautiful but the dial is the main event. This 2691-1 features the fan-favorite honeycomb dial, with a crosshair seconds subdial. What really makes the piece sing is the fantastic pink gold arrowhead hour markers, and particularly the way they compliment the slightly darker pink dauphine hands. The surface shows mild discoloration in the first quarter and is missing a touch of radium lume, but for 70+ years old she is gorgeous.
ACCESSORIES
